Ranked #4 in Best Countertop Dishwashers

Farberware Portable Countertop Dishwasher

4.1

4 sources3 derived$299.99as of Jun 7

The Farberware Portable Countertop Dishwasher cleans like a full-size machine in a compact body, handling tough food residue with no water hookup. Bon Appétit praised how thoroughly it cleans dishes in a two-hour cycle, and Taste of Home noted the quiet operation and ease of use. Reviewers criticized how often the 5-liter tank needs refilling and the limited room for larger utensils. Small households, or anyone without space for a full-size dishwasher, are the fit; larger families and anyone who wants a simpler refill process should look elsewhere.

Strengths

— Just as effective as full-size dishwasher despite smaller size
— No water hookup required; uses 5-liter tank filled manually with included pitcher
— Quiet operation with only slight hum and splashing sounds

Watch-outs

— Limited capacity of just two place settings
— Water tank requires frequent refills with small pitcher, causing spillage
— Silverware rack may not fit larger utensils

Hava R01 Countertop Dishwasher

4.2

3 sources$280as of Aug 1

The Hava R01 countertop dishwasher is built for small households or anyone without room for a full-size unit. Reviewers praised its water efficiency, 75% less than handwashing, and the five wash cycles including a 29-minute Speed option. A built-in 5-liter tank and easy setup make it work in apartments, RVs, or rental suites. Critics noted the limited capacity and that it does best with small dishware. Couples and singles who want a space-saving, efficient alternative to handwashing get a solid choice.

Strengths

— Compact design maximizes space utilization with 16.86" x 16.75" x 18.05" dimensions
— Uses only 5 liters of water per cycle, 75% less than handwashing
— Five wash cycles including Speed, Normal, Soft, Baby Care/Heavy, and Fruit

Watch-outs

— Limited usable space, works best with small, standardized dinnerware
— Packaged in excessive plastic that could be replaced with biodegradable materials

How they stack up

Farberware Portable Countertop Dishwasher

While the Farberware model is just as effective as full-size dishwashers, it has a much smaller capacity than the Danby and Comfee models, limiting its use for larger households. Its two-hour wash cycle is faster than the Hava and Midea models, but the need for frequent manual refills makes it less convenient than the Comfee or Hermitlux versions.

Hava R01 Countertop Dishwasher

The Hava Countertop Dishwasher is more water-efficient than the Danby and Midea models, but it has less usable space than the Farberware and Comfee models. It lacks the specialized cycles of the Comfee and Danby, and unlike the Black + Decker, it doesn't require a faucet connection, making it more portable than the Farberware Complete.
